Wolbachia infection significantly reduced hatch rate in infected eggs (by 10%) but improved larvo-nymphal viability sufficiently so that infected eggs nevertheless yielded as many adults as uninfected ones, albeit with a 1.5% longer total development time

Zygosaccharomyces sp. is the fungus eaten by S. depilis larvae and that fungus consumption provides ergosterol to developing bees, allowing successful pupation.

consumption of one common carbon source d-glucose over another carbohydrate d-pinitol in pine phloem tissues by the fungus inhibit D. valens larval weight increase

R. insecticola increased the time of pre-adult duration.R. insecticola may reduce the potential growth of S. avenae clones.

The sterilization-produced aposymbiotic nymphs showed high mortality and no insects reached adulthood. In addition, the Pantoea symbiont was uncultivable outside the insect host, indicating an obligate and intimate host-symbiont association

The inner core core oligosaccharide, composed of Kdo (3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid), Ko, and two heptoses, is especially important in maintaining a symbiont titer in the M4 midgut and supporting host growth, fitness, and defense against bacterial challenge
